Strawberry Fool - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pt. strawberries
sugar
2 Tbsp. bourbon
freshly grated zest of 1 orange
1 c. whipping cream
4 sprigs fresh mint

Preparation

Wash berries and set aside 4 small nicely shaped ones for garnish.
Stem and core the remaining berries and cut them into thick slices.
Sprinkle with sugar.
How much sugar will depend on how sweet the berries are, the bourbon and the orange zest.
Cover and set them aside to marinate for half an hour.
Mash the berries to a pulp with a potato masher.
(Do not use a blender or food processor; both machines will liquify them.)
